    Trace amount of coolant in my transmission

    I took the transmission out the other day so I could replace my leaky rear main seal.
    While I am in here I will replace the inlet seal and inspect oil pan seal.
    Anyways, when I took it out I noticed a small amount of green liquid on the splines, looked like coolant:


    What do you guys think about this? That one coolant hose in the back of the engine that runs by the firewall? (inspected, not leaking) No coolant in my oil either.
    thanks

      I bet your heater hoses are leaking.

              Did you pull the motor out with the transmission attached? If so I'd say alittle coolant leaked into your bellhousing when you pulled it out at an angle. Was there any coolant on the clutch pressure plate?

              Aside from showing yourself to be offensive, lacking experience and ignorant in the ways of business, you're also illiterate and imprudent. Beyond that, your sense of liability is severely impaired.
